How To Maintain Hair Extensions 

 

*It is HIGHLY recommended to wash and condition your extensions before getting it installed. *

 

Always Use A Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner. ( Sulfate will strip the oils from your hair and it can become dry and brittle.) 

Use a High End Moisturizing/Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner as this is important. 

 

Shampoo your extensions with Lukewarm Water and use downward motions to avoid tangling. (Be Gentle. Do not scrub or scrunch extensions as this will cause damage to the hair) When Conditioning, make sure to use a generous amount of product and allow hair to sit for at least 15-30 mins. It can also sit overnight for best results. Be Sure To Rinse all the conditioner out the hair with Cold Water as this is KEY to lock in all the moisture, reduce frizz, and keep your hair shiny.  Always allow hair to air dry. 

 

Wash hair extensions Biweekly or when hair becomes weighed down from excessive oils and products. 

 

Brush hair daily start at the ends and work your way to the top. ALWAYS use a detangling brush or a wide tooth comb. Small tooth combs can cause unnecessary pulling of hair strands and lead to excessive shedding. 

 

If you cut tracks, you may experience shedding. Purchase Weft sealer and apply it to your wefts before installing. 

 

 

The recommended temperature for hot tools is 350-400 F. 

 

Before styling your hair with hot tools,  always use a heat protectant spray and a lightweight hair serum. A Little Goes A Long Way ( Pea Size Is Good ). Avoid heavy oils as this will weigh down your hair causing it to look oily and stiff. Using a light serum will help keep your hair moisturized during the duration of wearing your extensions and should be applied to the hair every 1-2 days or when needed. Never use spritz or any holding spray when straightening your extensions. DRY HAIR WILL RESULT IN SHEDDING AND TANGLING. 

 

 

 

Sleep on a silk pillow case or use a silk bonnet to prevent hair from tangling and drying out. You can loosely braid your hair or wrap your extensions and use a net to hold in place then put bonnet on before you go to bed. 

 

 

Have A Professional Dye Your extensions for you if you don’t have any experience. 

 

Schedule appointments with your hairstylist for maintenance. 

 

 

 

Store your hair extensions properly: When you're not wearing your hair extensions, score them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a satin or silk bag or on a wig stand. This will help prevent rangles and damage.
